About meThat isn't me - it's Kevin the Vicarage Cat
About my libraryNow Collections have arrived I've added books owned by other members of my family. My Library contains the books owned by any of us; Kerry's are mine; Jon's Study contains my husband's books and Clare's are my daughters. My son only reads on screen or newspapers and magazines so nothing to catalogue yet. I'm adding to Ever Read as I remember. Browsing through other libraries here often jogs my memory - even back to my childhood reading.

I love the picture of the Vicarage Cat-in-Training......looks a little like a smaller version of a kitty we've just invited into our house forever with his sibling and mother, who is hardly more than a kitten herself. We put our 18 year-old tuxedo cat down about three weeks ago, and the current trio showed up at around the same time. Resident dog and cat are not as thrilled as I am, but they will all be O.K. with time and patience.
And now, as a retired teacher, I'm off to see what Pedants' Corner is all about.

The Chalet school collection is kind of both. Currently it's really mine, since, despite her undoubted intelligence (ahem!), she's not quite that advanced yet. I'm hoping she'll enjoy them as much as I did. The plan, in any case, is to have a general children's library for her and her eventual siblings and then for her also to have her own specific books which may be subsumed into the general library once she's outgrown them.
I haven't heard of Crawley Down. I'm presuming it's a village?

Dorothy Dunnett is jolly good isn't she, if complicated at times. But how nice to have books without simple or obvious answers.
By the way I hope you recognised the pretty Tyrolean greeting!

I say, your collection is absolutely topping :-)
